    The title says it all… assuming i create a post type called Books and create a category for it, Is there a way to hide other categories from showing up in the Add New or Edit Post page…?

    And the second question is is it possible to change the custom field group name under a post type..I think the default returns *custom field* under the content/post box in the add new or edit page.

    You can manage categories by using another plugin — Categories and Tags are tied to WordPress posts, so you can’t disassociate them, but you can create a new taxonomy and attach it only to the post-types you want (e.g. books in your case). I recommend the Simple Taxonomy http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/simple-taxonomy/ — I looked at half a dozen different taxonomy plugins at one point, and that was the only one I found that was well-architected. I’ll incorporate that functionality eventually (see http://code.google.com/p/wordpress-custom-content-type-manager/issues/detail?id=167), but it wasn’t top priority because it was already handled well by that other plugin.

    Re question #2, do you mean the metabox? There’s going to be a lot of extra features relating to them in 0.9.7, but that’s a few weeks off (unless I land a gig that requires them). If you want to do a little hack for this in the interim, you can edit the create_meta_box() function inside of includes/StandardizedCustomFields.php

    Hope that helps.
